Manitoba Conservation: Water Efficiency Program

Using water efficiently is beneficial to the environment, may delay water supply considerations, and lower water supply and wastewater treatment costs.

Clean water is a finite resource, even in Manitoba. Treating water, and the resulting wastewater to an acceptable level requires sizable infrastructure and operating expenditures. Modest consumption rates must be encouraged, both at home and at work. Contributing to the sustainability of the environment is the most long-term reward. Using water efficiently is the key to solving water related, supply and environmental challenges, both now and in the future.
